There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov (1980)

    A pal ‘o mine apparently tossed my logo into an #AI machine and it spat this retro classic out. Of note, we have no idea where the brain robot got the “HUSSAN” at the bottom, so that’s hilarious! Also, that’s not really me, but it’s fun. #NotQuiteArt #AritificialHallucination

    An image showing diversity, equity, and inclusion with definitions. Diversity: All the ways in which people differ. Equity: Fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all people. One's identity cannot predict the outcome. Inclusion: A variety of people have power, a voice, and decision-making authority. Sources: City of Portland Office of Equity and Human Rights, The Independent Sector, and UC Berkeley.

    Just a simple reminder… #TFG’s “No More DEI” means an end to #diversity, #equity, and #inclusion. No more people of color. No more recognition that other cultures are also human beings. All to be replaced with institutionalized #racism. #truthbomb #fucktrump
